Winter Arrives in Silkroad Online with the Launch of Legend
IV Plus: Hotan Fortress
Joymax Announces a Fortress War Update and a Trio of Holiday Events for Fantasy
MMORPG Silkroad Online

Joymax, an independent developer and publisher of interactive entertainment for
the global market, today announced the launch of Legend IV Plus: Hotan Fortress
and the start of a trio of holiday events for Silkroad Online. From December 15
to January 12, 2010, players can take on snowy enemies in the Winter Story
Event, reminisce about the past as part of the Goodbye 2009 Event, and try their
luck in the item mall with the Storage Expansion Item Launching Event. The
Fortress Wars are also coming to the imposing Hotan Fortress on Christmas Eve,
so there’s plenty of fun to be had this holiday season in Silkroad Online!

For the Winter Story Event, an evil Princess has brought
sub-zero temperatures to the land in an attempt to create her own personal
Winter Festival. Her grinning Snow Slaves are a threat to all unwary travelers,
and her White Knights ride in their wake. Players who collect enough Snow Flakes
from her minions can trade them in for fabulous rewards, and may even earn the
right to face the Princess herself or the White Knights in combat.

Players are also encouraged to reflect upon the time they’ve
spent in Silkroad Online and share their stories as part of the Goodbye 2009
Event. Entries can be submitted to the event page until January 12, and the
winning stories will be announced on January 19. The authors selected will be
rewarded with rare and powerful 10th Grade Sun, Moon, and Star Seals.

Participants in the Storage Expansion Item Launching Event
will have an equal shot at winning incredible prizes. Ten lucky players who buy
storage expansion items during the event period will win one of the 10th Grade
Seals or a bundle of 10,000 skill points.

Those looking for Silkroad Online’s ultimate challenge should
prepare for the first Hotan Fortress War taking place on Christmas Eve, December
24. This grand structure at the heart of the Oasis Kingdom has never been
captured, and only the greatest of warriors will be able to wrest control from
its current inhabitants.

The Legend IV Plus: Hotan Fortress update brings a number of
other changes to the game, including an improved Fortress War system,
limited-edition Glacial Avatar armor, and a refreshed Magic Pop system. For more
